What's the biggest difference between this prodct the bread mix? I do all types of baking. Which is most versatile? Thanks!

I'm not sure I can answer that because this is the main one I use...for cookies, pancakes, scones, banana bread, biscuits, etc...the list is endless and every recipe is awesome!

I like the bread mix for different types of yeast breads, pizza crust etc. I use the pancake mix for light breads and pancakes of course. They each bake to a different texture.

My daughter uses Pamela's a lot. Enough that she buys this size rather than the regular size. I think this is pretty versatile

I tried my own recipes/published and was never happy. Bob's Red Mill Homemade Wonderful Bread Mix makes a big loaf very superior to any commercial loaf I've found. Although I do put the mix into the bread machine to mix and rise, I transfer it to a loaf pan and finish it off in the oven according to the package instructions. You must cook it a lot longer than a regular bread machine baking cycle, according to the package instructions, and cover with foil to prevent crust burn. I don't separate the eggs, just use the whole egg. I substitute coconut oil for the butter. Wetting you fingers and smoothing out the top will really make a visual difference too. I keep this gluten free flour on hand for lots of other purposes. Breading fried chicken and some recipes you were using before that may call for a small amount of flour and this substitutes great. Good luck on your GF journey.

I have no idea. does it really matter? the final result is perfect.no matter what reciepe you use. this shouldn't be healthy if you have a healthy diet ; same as other bakery products :)

I've made biscuits and pizza on both (although not bread, but one is a quick bread with a chemical leavener and the pizza dough I did use yeast), and while the dough did turn out drier and slightly crisper on the Silpain, it wasn't the kind of result that I expected, compared to a stone. I would say, overall, for baking breads, it's a slight (but noticeable) improvement; it promotes a slightly crisper crust, but I would still opt for a pizza stone if I had the choice.

The conditioner makes bread/crust more bread-like, springy (and adds to flavor). I use it in pizza crust -- but I think how you bake the pizza makes the biggest difference in types of crust (like on pizza stone, finishing it on bare rack, or what trick you can figure out to get the crust the way you want. I can't see ever making a yeast dough without dough conditioner.

I ordered it because I wanted to mix my bread dough but honestly i would not recommend it for that. It's good for regular cake dough but when the dough is heavy like for the bread one, the dough instead of mixing is sticking...

Sorry, I have never used a bread machine. If you use other regular flours instead of premade mixes when you use your machine, I would think this Rye Flour would work just fine for you. Hope this helps :)

I have been using this to bake bread, combined with other flours, no problem. It's not that the gluten is added, rather it is that some types of wheat berries have a naturally higher gluten content, making them better for bread baking. Thus the naming of the flour as "bread" flour. The recipe I use can be found, with video, at my blog titled "the nature of brown whyte" Hth, Holly

I think it's for bread machines only, you might try to mix it for a regular oven, should turn out OK.

Hi, I'm still trying to perfect my dough. According to eitalianfood.com, you only add the yeast to the flour along with 2 teaspoons sugar. I'm going to use honey instead of sugar. I'm making dough tomorrow, I'll let you know how it goes.

bread question again..... assuming one bakes a loaf on the small size....does this oven bake bread evenly.i cannot use my current black and decker toaster oven for baking because the tops on the muffins, bread, or cakesactually burn. So i need to use the regular oven for bread and muffins. Would love to use the cuisinart brick oven.

I never have used the mix in a food processor and really wouldn't think it is necessary. If you have trouble mixing because of arthritis, etc. then I would use a stand mixer with a dough hook. I actually use this mix in my Bread machine. So it eliminates all "extra" steps. I use light color Basic Bread setting, 2 lb loaf (a 3 hour cycle) and it turns out great!

I don't even have a bread machine and mix the whole recipe by hand. It turns out just fine. I do, however, mix the yeast in the warm water and add a teaspoon of sugar (yeast grows better in sugar water). The bread made with this mix is our favorite and has always turned out just great. For a bread machine, use the whole bag and follow the recipe. I do cover the top with foil in the last 20 minutes or so. Note: I always mix the wet ingredients together first, add half the bread mix, stir together, then add the rest of the mix and stir it together.

I use a Hamilton Beach bread maker, it will even do cakes and jam. My bread rises well and is very tasty.

I use saf-instant for everything. I don't think there would be a difference in the two however. I like the saf instant because I can buy it in 1 pound bags for $5 or $6 which makes it much cheaper than the strips of three envelopes. I keep it in the freezer in a lock n lock container, & it always works as expected. The most information you can find on one site for baking information is King Arthur Flour website. I originally found this yeast on their site, but now buy it through Amazon because we have Amazon Prime. Good luck with your baking!

Actually, I used a regular hand mixer and baked it in a regular loaf pan. I didn't use a stand mixer, nor the bread machine. I might try the bread machine the next time, but my way was easier. Turned out great! Did that answer your question?

I do not own a bread-maker. I mix the bread ingredients by hand and have wonderful results.
